Abstract

Background: T-006, a novel neuroprotective derivative of tetramethylpyrazine (TMP), exhibits multifunctional neuroprotective properties. T-006 has been shown to improve neurological and behavioral functions in animal models of ischemic stroke and neurodegenerative diseases. The present study aims to further elucidate the mechanisms underlying the protective effects of T-006 against oxidative injuries induced by glutamate or hypoxia. Methods: Mouse hippocampal HT22 cells were used to evaluate the neuroprotective effects of T-006 against glutamate-induced injuries, while mouse brain endothelial bEnd.3 cells were used to evaluate the cerebrovascular protective effects of T-006 against oxygen-glucose deprivation followed by reperfusion (OGD/R)-induced injuries. The 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and flow cytometry were used to measure cell viability and oxidative stress. Western blot and immunofluorescence analyses of protein expression were used to study cell signaling pathways. Results: T-006 exhibited significant protective effects in both oxidative injury models. In HT22 cells, T-006 reduced cell death and enhanced antioxidant capacity by upregulating mTOR and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2/Heme oxygenase-1 (Nrf2/HO-1) signaling. Similarly, in bEnd.3 cells, T-006 reduced oxidative injuries and preserved tight junction integrity through Nrf2/HO-1 upregulation. These effects were inhibited by LY294002, a Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor. Conclusions: T-006 may exert its neuroprotective and cerebrovascular protective effects via the regulation of PI3K/AKT-mediated pathways, which facilitate downstream mTOR and Nrf2 signaling, leading to improved cell survival and antioxidant defenses.
